Swept clean off the Map....Pat Riley & Anthony Mason....help Jordan's decision to retire in 1993 ECF all 7 games, thats how we got to the FINALS in 94.

Back then Anthony Mason & Rodman were the toughest bigmen in the NBA...
Lets get it right....Nash & Stat are generics of "Stocton & Malone"

Even though i wish that was true, its far from the truth. Jordan retired because his gambling debts got his father killed, Stern knew about it. So they came up with the plan for MJ to retire and let it blow over, it was John Starks who guarded Jordan and constantly got raped by him. If we had Sprewell or Shumpert back then, MJ woulda looked like a role player

No one would of made MJ look like a role player, unfortunatly......and thats the main reason we never made it to a Finals while he was playing, he was just that damn great. Iman or Spree would of def presented some challenges to him though.

BTW.......Oak>>>Mason in terms of toughness and defense to the other poster.
